ENHANCEMENTS

• Execute SSH key creation alongside with the creation of HOME directory, i.e.
  during SSH login, when switching to another user and when executing a command as another user.
• Add support for both FQDN and LDAP Distinguished Names in the configuration parameter DirectoryService/DomainName. The new validator now checks both the syntaxes.
• New update_directory_service_password.sh script deployed on the head node supports the manual update of the Active Directory password in the SSSD configuration.
  The password is retrieved by the AWS Secrets Manager as from the cluster configuration.
• Add support to deploy API infrastructure in environments without a default VPC.
• Add validation for DirectoryService/AdditionalSssdConfigs to fail in case of invalid overrides.

CHANGES

• Disable deeper C-States in x86_64 official AMIs and AMIs created through build-image command, to guarantee high performance and low latency.
• OS package updates and security fixes.
• Change Amazon Linux 2 base images to use AMIs with Kernel 5.10.

BUG FIXES

• Fix build-image stack in DELETE_FAILED after image built successful, due to new EC2ImageBuilder policies.
• Fix the configuration parameter DirectoryService/DomainAddr conversion to ldap_uri SSSD property when it contains multiples domain addresses.
